A review by sagittarian
Amidst Secrets and Shadows by Harper Wylde, Stacy Jones

4.0

the junk food of smutty KU fantasy romances. delicious for all the wrong reasons, but when the cravings hit, they hit, you know?

probably the best of the books in this series so far, with a cooler setting, interesting magic developments, and even better spice, but a muuuuuuch slower pace. these books are so short, so the slow pace doesn’t exactly feel as slow as it probably is — but i did find myself wishing for a little more action.

hot, easy to read (though skin-itchingly cringe at times — nothing LESS sexy than one of your boyfriends calling your other boyfriend ‘cookie monster’ during a spicy chapter), with enough actionable plot to keep me invested.

check out book 1’s review here, if a smutty why choose KU urban-ish fantasy romance sounds up your alley. or if you don’t mind cookie monster as a mid-coitus nickname.
